Mosaics in Jordan

On the way from Mt Nebo to Petra where we were spending the night we stopped at one of the workshops sponsored by the queen of Jordan.  This was a mosaics workshop and sales room.

I found out later that perhaps I was not supposed to take photos there.  I apparently missed the sign.  Or maybe it was just the showroom, where I did not take photos.  But, in case you are more well to do than I am and you are going to Jordan, bring money for the mosaics.
I loved the tree design.  Someone said they are pomegranates.
The artist is in a wheel chair. The guide told us it takes about 3 or 4 months to make a small mosaic like the one she is working on.
Intricate patterns and beautiful.
Another version of that tree.
The part of the workshop for pottery wasn't being used that day.
This is not an example of that, but they had some beautiful patio tables with mosaic tops that they would ship to the US, but I didn't have an extra couple of thousand for that.

And after this stop we took off across the country headed for Petra in the mountains. It was raining and the snowing on our trip and the windshield wipers didn't work properly.  So, it was a little scary, but the angels were with us and we arrived at Petra in time for dinner.
